How video helps to increase eBay sales

Video is the most interactive way to showcase a product. As an eBay seller, you must use it if you really want to stand out in front of numerous competitors. Stop bothering your customers with long paragraphs of plain text – engage them with visually appealing listings where they can gain a clear vision of the product you are selling and see how it actually looks like in the real life. As the result, you’ll improve your odds of a successful sale and obtain advantages over other sellers.

Why Cincopa is a better alternative to Youtube for eBay listings

Cincopa is a huge video hosting and digital media management platform which allows to upload, manage and publish video content across the web. It’s optimized for specific business and eCommerce needs and offers a large set of advanced features making it a better alternative to video platforms like YouTube and Vimeo.

With Cincopa, you can publish stunning online galleries that can include much more media formats than video: images, slideshows, audios, and even podcasts! Take advantage of more than 100 rich media skins with amazing designs. By using advanced video gallery skins like video timeline, video portal, video playlist, and many others, you can go beyond the features of a standard online video player for eBay listings.

Since eBay doesn’t support the <iframe> tag used by YouTube for embedding videos, you can’t simply copy and paste YouTube code to your listing because it won’t work. Instead, you’ll have to follow a mind-blowing procedure of adding a YouTube video in old HTML format, which you’ll have to customize manually. That’s just not appropriate if you don’t want to waste your precious time. Instead, you can upload your product video to Cincopa and embed video to eBay in a few easy steps by simply copying and pasting an optimized code, which is fully compatible with eBay platform.

Embedding video from Cincopa to eBay

Cincopa offers the most user-friendly way of embedding videos to eBay listings. Here’s how to add any video or multimedia gallery from Cincopa to eBay:

  • Go to the Galleries list and select a video gallery you’d like to embed to an eBay listing;

  • Almost done! Copy the embed code and paste it wherever you want the video to appear in your eBay listing.
